I had an awesome wee hit out at the first CX race of the season. It was cold, wet, and muddy… AWESOME! this is exactly what CX is all about… I glanced over photo’s from other race around NZ and all I can say is I am stoked that Nationals are being held in the deep south this year, and especially in Dunedin as mud is guaranteed – an essential part of CX.

This weeks race was a bit of a sausage fest… meaning lots of dudes and not many ladies… but it is always great to race in and amongst the boys.

Well after holding the title for the past two years it was time to hand it over and who better to lose to then Kate Fluker!!! and wow she smashed me! over 9 mins ahead of me and third overall on the day – what a champ!
